About Made to Measure →When to Order a Custom Suit or Tuxedo
Tell me the date of your wedding or event and I will count back from it: how long each option takes to make, plus four weeks for your final fitting and adjustments.
Can I get a custom suit in six weeks? Almost always, yes. Made to measure takes 6 to 8 weeks, and six weeks is usually enough. If your date is closer than that, rush options take about 3 weeks or 2 weeks, for a fee. Handmade to measure needs 8 to 10 weeks, and American Made cannot be rushed. Tell me your date when you book. The dates below include four weeks of room for fittings, so they are the comfortable plan, not the limit.

Good to know
Questions about dates.
Why add four weeks?
After your garment is made you still need a final fitting, and there has to be room for any adjustment and for ordinary delays. Four weeks covers that. For a wedding, starting four to six months out is better still.
What if the date has passed?
For made to measure, rush options may still work: Thunder takes about 3 weeks and Lightning 2 weeks, with a rush fee. Text me before you book so we can confirm what is possible for your date. American Made and handmade cannot be counted on for a rush.
When should groomsmen order?
Measure every groomsman and father at least 12 weeks before the wedding for made to measure. That covers 6 to 8 weeks to make the suits and four weeks for final fittings. The groom should start four to six months out so the cloth and style are set first.
When should I order for a gala, holiday party or New Year's Eve?
Count back from the date: 10 to 12 weeks for made to measure, 12 to 14 for handmade to measure and 16 to 18 for American Made, which includes four weeks for fittings. For an event in early December, that means ordering made to measure by mid-September.
Are these dates a promise?
No. They are the latest dates I would recommend, not guarantees. Cloth availability and my schedule matter, so tell me your date at the start and I will plan backwards from it.
